This 8-channel latching relay module (C) is controlled via RS-485 and uses the Modbus RTU protocol. It features latching relays, meaning the relay states are retained even after power loss - ideal for applications where maintaining output state during outages is important. Housed in a DIN rail-mount ABS enclosure, it's built for quick installation in control cabinets or industrial setups.

Each relay is rated for up to 10A at 250VAC or 30VDC. A dedicated driver chip provides reliable switching, and the flash-on/flash-off function allows relays to activate briefly and then return to their previous state, based on command parameters. The module supports configurable device addresses from 1 to 255 and can be cascaded with multiple units over the RS-485 bus (for longer distances or larger setups, RS-485 repeaters may be needed).

Built-in protection includes unibody power and magnetic isolation, TVS diodes, and a resettable fuse. These help protect against surges, interference, and incorrect wiring. A reverse-proof circuit prevents damage from accidental polarity errors. Three onboard LEDs indicate MCU operation and RS-485 signal transmission.

Note: Power adapter not included (12V DC Barrel Jack supply recommended).

⚠️Electrical Safety Precautions⚠️

  • This product should be operated and used by professional electricians or technical personnel. During use, please ensure electrical safety and take protective measures such as anti-leakage and insulation.
  • Before installing, maintaining, or replacing relay equipment, make sure to turn off the power and unplug the device.
  • Do not attempt to dismantle relay equipment to avoid damaging the device or risking electric shock.
  • Please properly install and place the relay equipment. Avoid using it in damp, overly hot, or flammable environments to prevent safety accidents due to improper installation or use.
